Along the journey of preparation, I have reconnected with many friends from my earlier years. Emails and facebook messages have been pouring in with inquiries, encouragement and donations. A new element of purpose has set in about why I began this, and what it has become.
I am beening challenged. I have been changed. I haven't even left the country yet.
I have learned much about myself, the negative thoughts that I allow in my mind and how I can battle them out - and keep them out. I have learned to adopt an "I can" attitude and truly believe it. I have learned that each small step made/spoken/donated all will have a powerful impact on someone's life. That "someone" has been a close friend, a friend from the past and will certainly be someone I meet in the future.
This journey is just beginning, has already been a success and in many ways, and has not yet begun.
I honestly had different plans for this season of my life - like being married and having children. That is not so for me right now. Many have said that they could not do this (climb Kili) because they are married and/or have children. I think I am trying to accept that we are all in the season of life that we are in - I could push to change it, but then it wouldn't really be what my life path was/is supposed to be. I had a dream last night and it was a repeated message. This is your time. Your time will impact the lives of woman and children near and far.
I think I just need to be still, and know that the right plan for me is unfolding before my very eyes. That the rest of my story has already been written and as I walk through it, I will discover how my life will continue to have purpose, in each season.
